    This isn't going to be a popular opinion, but my many years of snow events at TDOT has made me very skeptical of brine. During the event last January we brined half of I-75 in Hamilton County and left the other half untreated. It made zero difference during the event.

    I have what I would call heavy snow for the first time. Went sledding earlier and the tracks are filled in already.

    I think we’ve gotten into some better forcing. Rates are picking up again here. Might clear 2”.

    It’s going to be very hard to get a measurement for this snow. I think I’m at around 1.5” but in some places it’s double that and others are nearly swept bare by the wind. Almost nothing on roofs. 18 degrees.
  5. dwagner88
    Well we didn’t get nothing! Can’t tell how much but everything is white outside. Still coming down lightly. It does appear to be under an inch at this point.

    I find it very interesting that this event is also starting with a a poorly modeled initial round of precip. Just like last weekend. Hopefully this weekend scratches the snowy itch for more of us.

    Man it’s windy. Blowing my dusting right off the roof.

    Flurries in Apison.

    While obviously too light overall, the heaviest portions of this are present, but are displaced to the west by 20-30 miles. If that holds true for the entire event, could be good news for SE TN.

    There is an initial round of snow working its way through Hamilton County. The orientation is wrong for what I expect the main show to be. It honestly just resembles normal NW flow. I think as the ULL moves in this will re-orient into nearly a due N-S direction. Seeing some ground truth MPING reports in the city now. Nothing IMBY yet, but we should get some light precipitation shortly. 32 here.

    Adjacent FFC counties in North GA have gone for a forecast of 0.5-2" for just across the border. At these temps that presents a wide range of impacts. 0.5 probably doesn't wreck the roads. 2" absolutely will.

    Nah. They go by the NBM. We will be lucky to even get a WWA.

    I'm getting snow jam 2014 vibes. Very cold temps, very high ratio snow, there is the potential for very high impacts to roadways even with light amounts.

    We've got moderate snow up on Hwy 111 and the very top of Signal Mtn. Not much in the valley except icy crystals and the occasional perfect five point flake.
  15. dwagner88
    Finally above freezing here. 32.9
  16. dwagner88
    I think the lower elevations down here are going to be fine. There really isn't as much accretion as I expected at 29 degrees. The mountains may be in worse shape though.
  17. dwagner88
    After nearly reaching 30, my temperature is dropping again. Down to 28. That's very concerning.
  18. dwagner88
    Moderate ZR in Apison. 29 degrees. Isn't freezing to the roads, but is to the elevated stuff.
  19. dwagner88
    Shocked to still be at 27. Some of the models showed a bubble of colder air trapped around Chattanooga. Looks like that is proving true so far. Thankfully, there hasn't been much precipitation yet.
  20. dwagner88
    Wow I'm at 26.6. That temp has just slowly dropped all morning as the column saturates.
  21. dwagner88
    28 here as well. Still hanging on to a few snowflakes, but I'm back to mostly sleet.
  22. dwagner88
    Pretty concerned about the train of moisture that has set up along the southern border. It seems that was poorly modeled. It's fine as snow, but I don't think we will be able to maintain 850 temps capable of supporting snow for much longer.
  23. dwagner88
    And we have changed to primarily snow. Absolutely did not expect this.
  24. dwagner88
    Sleet and ZR mix here. 28 degrees.
  25. dwagner88
    I don't think there will be much if any accretion at 32. If the lower elevations down here maintain 32, I think the problems are minor. I suspect area mountaintops will be a disaster zone. Could even extend to the higher ridge tops in the eastern and northern suburbs.
